I'm having a bit of a mare trying to find the right suit for my fiancé. Forget about bridezilla, I feel like I've got myself a groomzilla 🙄 It has taken me ages to get him finally trying on suits with trousers, not just jackets and jeans..

He decided early on that he wanted a navy suit except the bridesmaid dresses are going to be jade green and I'm worried it won't go. He doesn't want to wear tails, even though the length of the jacket is more flattering and makes him look slimmer. I guess he's going through the same process I did with my dress, it's just so frustrating.
Anyone have any top tips on dealing with this? Or should I just be patient and get him to keep trying on suits.

Just let him get on with it and find something he is comfortable with wearing. After all, I expect you'd get a bit annoyed if he started weighing in with what you could and couldn't have for your wedding dress!
I think navy and jade will work ok anyway, but if not, change the bridesmaids' dresses - the groom is more important than the bridesmaids, so his outfit should take precedence over theirs.

I’d probably keep trying different cuts before making a final decision. Navy can actually work really nicely with jade green, especially if the suit is kept fairly simple and the accessories tie the colors together. I can understand the frustration though, especially when he has already decided what he wants in his head. Sometimes it just takes finding the right fit before he changes his mind. Even iconic jackets like the thriller jacket michael jackson became memorable because of the way the cut and overall styling came together, so fit can make a bigger difference than the color itself.
